Bristol City 2 Newcastle United 2

March 20, 2010

In what was tipped as a potential banana skin for Newcastle, we could have been forgiven if we went into this game with a small amount of trepidation. After all, West Brom visited Ashton Gate and came away with nowt, so that meant anything we picked up, would be a bonus. A win would have [...]

Newcastle United 3 Peterboro 1

November 8, 2009

As voices of discontent gathered at the back of the Milburn stand before the game, they were equally as vociferous in their support for their team once they got inside the ground. The second largest attendance of the day (43,067) certainly made their feelings known.
The Newcastle fans had something to shout about other than the [...]

Newcastle United Go Top of the Championship

November 2, 2009

There aren’t many things worse than what’s happened to our club over the past week or so, and I was hoping that it wouldn’t have too much of an impact on the NUFC players. Fortunately (and rather fortuitously), they battled to a hard fought victory over Sheffield United.
The Blades made the Newcastle players work hard [...]

NUFC All Tied Up with QPR

September 30, 2009

Thanks to a late goal from new loan signing Marlon Harewood, Newcastle United managed to avoid defeat, and with it, go three points clear at the top of the Championship.
It wasn’t all plain sailing though and QPR proved they were no pushovers. They went in front on the 7th minute after a mistake from Jose [...]

NUFC 3 – Plymouth Argyle 1

September 19, 2009

Newcastle United climbed up to second place in the Coca Cola Championship after their 3-1 win over Plymouth Argyle. Newcastle made hard work of this win though and were very lackluster in the first-half. Going in 1-0 up at half-time thanks to a Steven Taylor header, Argyle came out for the second half like a [...]

Cardiff City vs Newcastle United

September 12, 2009

Newcastle, unbeaten this season go into the game tomorrow looking to cement their place at the top of the Championship. However, they will have to do so without big Andy Carroll, Shola Ameobi and Jonas Gutierrez. Return signing Peter Lovenkrands is also a doubt as there are questions about the pacey attacker’s fitness.
We’ve always said [...]

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United

August 21, 2009

Newcastle, unbeaten this season travel down to London to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Last week, Neil Warnock, Palace’s manager was justifiably infuriated by the goal scored by young Spears which was disallowed. Let’s hope the refs will be equally in our favour tomorrow!

West Brom 1 – Newcastle United 1

August 8, 2009

Newcastle’s first game back, and the entire nation were waiting for them to slip up against promotion favourites West Bromwich Albion. The prelude to the game saw Alan Shearer go on record to say that he would “dearly love” to be manager of Newcastle United.
Rumours of a bust-up within Newcastle’s camp saw Joey Barton (surprise [...]

Relegation Looming for Lackluster Newcastle United

April 19, 2009

A tepid performance from Newcastle United in the nation’s capital today saw the Toon take one step closer to Championship football as a defeat by Spurs saw us gain no ground on the teams around us.
Newcastle’s starting line-up included last weeks hero Andy Carroll but this task was just a little too much for the [...]

Goal from Gateshead Rescues Newcastle United

April 11, 2009

A game that was not so much about the football played but the result at the end of the game – The Toon started off with an unorthodox 3-5-2 formation with Ryan Taylor and Damien Duff getting up and down the flank. However, even though I appreciate Alan Shearer’s willingness to change the system, perhaps [...]
